RE: You can go pretty big on lift.

As long as you have adequate lifter preload. But manufacturing tolerances being what they are, there's no one number that works for all engines.

My 390 had adequate preload with non-adjustable rockers with a 548/580 cam. I ran the engine that way while I was sorting out pushrod length for a set of adjustables. The adjustables weren't necessary for the cam but for the lifters. Using anti-pump up lifters require a very precise preload and you can't do that with non-adjustables.
This thread, so far...
